Download AMD Catalyst 13.30 BETA driver

Download the AMD Catalyst 13.30 BETA driver. This driver works with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. The driver supports all modern APUs (this driver was released for the new Kaveri A10 and A18 APUs) yet it also supported FireGL and Radeon graphics cards making this a very new driver for pretty much anything with an AMD logo on it.

i can finally confirm: No, these aren't THE drivers, just Kaveri support and some add ons. If it were the Mantle drivers, I could enable Frame Pacing and had DX11.2 so nothing to see here. Im disappointed, why didn't AMD released the driver now? Maybe they won't release it in January..

It Adds 1 OpenGL 4.4 Extension to get it up to 5/10 now

however it is sad that my cf r9 290 works worse than older 9.5 driver. might have to try and do a DDU and install them clean instead of upgrade. will see.

This years CES 2014 has amounted in plenty of new developments and one of them concerns PC gaming with AMDs Mantle running on Battlefield 4 with a speed increase said to be 45% faster than DirectX. In addition, there are over twenty new games being developed for this.

This is good news for PC gamers and AMD revealed that the Oxide demo ran with 10fps on an A8-7600 APU in DirectX mode. This is documented in an article on DSO Gaming, which discusses the same demo with the same setup running with 30fps using the Mantle API.

This will be promoted with a game called Thief, which is scheduled to release next month, while Battlefield 4s Mantle patch is also expected to go live in February, although an actual date has not been pinned down yet.

Are these the 14.1's then for desktops, as the 13.30's were shown on that Kaveri APU slide, that showed the up to 45% faster in BF4.

EDIT: Yup, unconfirmed about BF4 Mantle in Feb, we'll see.

Yeah which got me as well, as the API has to be in the drivers so the games can use it, so they do have to release it.
